TIRE LATFST THEORY.
Reason for the Belief that BE lhayon W
Murdered

murdered.
SAN FRANcIsco, October 24th-1l =. M
Especial The latest theory developed in
the Benhayon case is that he did not sui
eide, but was murdered, and that the let
ters left by him are supposed to be forgeries
written with a view to throw cloud of
mystery around the case of Bowers and
save him from the gallows. The new
theory is based on the ground that Ben
hayon did not hire the room in which he
was found dead, and that if about to COM
NIT suicide he would not leave a letter to
advertise for the lost pocket or memoran-
book. It is believed that no such book ex-
listed, as criminals are not in the hsbit of
carrying on their persons the written evi-
dence of their crimes that there never
was transfer of the policies on Mrs.
Bowers life, as such-without being made
OF record on the books of the societies
would be invalid.
The reticence of the police and Coroner
to disclose the contents of the third letter,
or to say if anyone is under arrest, or is
likely to be arrested. in consequence, adds
to the mystery
The father of Beuhayon tonight saws the
letters purpOrting to have been written by
his son are, in his mind, forgeriesl

A Philadelphia Bank President Lights
Out for Europe.

PHILADELPHIA, October 24th.-The local
papers stated this morning that Charles l..
Phillips, President of the defunct Column
blan Bank, has fed the country, having
sailed for Havre on Saturday last. His
departure was sudden and known to yery
few. 1t is asserted that he left the country
to avoid criminal prosecution.
An evening paper says: Mr.. Phillips,
about SIX weeks ago, sent his three younger
children to the home of Baron De Lorme.
French nobleman and intimate personal
friend, who resides near convent at which
he wished Mr.. Phillips children to be edu-
Gated. The children were sent to France
because it was the expressed wish of the
nobleman that they should come and live
with him while attending school. Ten
days ago Baroness De Lorme died suddenly
OF heart disease, making it necessary for
Mr.. Phillips to sail quickly to provide other
arrangements for his children on account
OF the unexpected changes in Baron De
Lorme's domestic arrangements"
